in achieving even justification; however, values more than 3% from

striving for a special effect, it’s best to keep glyph scaling to
subtle values, such as 97–100–103.</div></div>

amount of space to the last line of a fully justified paragraph—between
the last word and an end-of-story character from a decorative font.
Used with nonjustified text, the flush space appears as a normal
word space. In justified text, it expands to absorb all available
extra space on the last line. Using a flush space can make a dramatic
difference in the way the entire paragraph is formatted by the Adobe
Paragraph Composer.</p>

composing a line of type involves factors in addition to word spacing and
letterspacing (hyphenation preferences, for example), InDesign cannot always
honor your settings for word spacing and letterspacing. However,
compositional problems in lines of text can be highlighted in yellow;
the darkest of three shades indicates the most serious problems.</p>
